Vail Leadership Institute host: Author Kara Penn As leaders, we often strive to avoid failure and minimize risk for fear of public criticism, squandered resources and diminished personal reputations- but the reality is, that in a complex and dynamic world, failure is inevitable.

The celebration event is open to everyone. Health Links Colorado wants to highlight the successes of all of the businesses and organizations in the Healthy Business Network across the state, and we want you to join!
